GORITE

Goal Oriented Teams (GORITE) is a Java platform for implementing Team Oriented designs. By the Team Oriented view of software systems, a running application consists of teams of performers, whose orchestrated operations bring about the application behaviour.
The Team Oriented paradigm is the very latest in software development paradigms, taking systems design to a new level. As design concept it extends Agent programming by including explicit modelling of the organisation of agents that comprise an application, whilst allowing for openness in actual composition.
The Team Oriented design approach is a lot more than a multi-agent approach, as it allows processes and data be attributed directly to teams. It implements an idealised abstraction where teams can operate separately from their members and regardless of having members. In principle however, a team's operation represents the agreed coordination of team member operations, and this only has a meaning with team members to coordinate.
The essence in GORITE Team Programming is to provide software solutions based on delegated autonomy at the architectural level.

Open Source Version Control

Open Source Version Control (CVS)
CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is a version control system, an important component of Source Configuration Management (SCM). It is used for collaboration and version control. Using it, you can record the history of sources files, and documents. It fills a similar role to the free software RCS, PRCS, and Aegis packages. reference

WinCvs is not a replacement for CVS. WinCvs is a GUI front-end for a CVS commandline client.
Sophisticated graphical user interface helps to utilize full power of CVS for experts and quickly learn basics for beginers. For download and more info:
http://www.wincvs.org/
It is required to install Python to run the wincvs:

CVSNT
Difference between WinCvs and CVS
WinCvs is not a CVS server! It can be used to run the client in :local: mode, so you could manage a single-user repository on your local machine all from within the WinCvs GUI, but as soon as your repository is going to be accessed by more than a single local user and/or from a different machine, you should look for a "real" CVS server. Currently the most advanced is the CVSNT project, which is available both for Windows and *ix operating systems. The "original" CVS project is maintained at http://www.cvshome.org/, where you could also find CVS servers and documentation for a plethora of other operating systems as well.
Difference of CVSNT with SVN

Subversion
The goal of the Subversion project is to build a version control system that is a compelling replacement for CVS in the open source community.
TortoiseSVN is a really easy to use Revision control / version control / source control software for Windows.

Latex

Miktex is the underlying programme which converts your typing into a nice, professional looking document.

Winshel is a free multilingual integrated development environment (IDE) for LaTeX and TeX. The program includes a text editor, syntax highlighting, project management, spell checking, a table wizard, BibTeX support, Unicode support, different toolbars and user configuration options. It is not a LaTeX system; an additional LaTeX package is required.

To view your results on screen you need Ghostscript and Ghostview . These can be downloaded at
Ghostscript exe file
Ghostview exe file

These must be installed in the above order.

TeXnicCenter is a feature rich integrated development environment (IDE) for developing LaTeX-documents. This can be used instead of Winshel.

Download the setup file and run it. The setup will ask you to link it to Miktex.

In order to link it to Miktex select the Miktex/bin folder inside the folder where Miktex is installed.

Here's a good link for Installing tips.

BibTeX is a tool for formatting lists of references. The BibTeX tool is typically used together with the LaTeX document preparation system. BibTeX makes it easy to cite sources in a consistent manner, by separating bibliographic information from the presentation of this information. This same principle of separation of content and presentation/style is used by LaTeX itself.

JabRef is an open source bibliography reference manager. The native file format used by JabRef is BibTeX, the standard LaTeX bibliography format.
